The challenges of dynamic vulnerability and how to assess it

“…The storylines approach (Shepherd et al, 2018) has been receiving growing attention from the compound hazard community (e.g., Matthews and Marston, 2019). This approach has increasingly been used by the climate change community as it provides an alternative approach to representing uncertainty.…”

“…Several studies have focused on assessing the co-occurrence of climate drivers and hazards, commonly defined as compound events (Cutter, 2018;Leonard et al, 2014;Ridder et al, 2020;Zscheischler et al, 2018). These studies tend to focus on one hazard type and the co-occurrence of its different (climate) drivers, for example, floods caused by the co-occurrence of high discharge, storm surge, and/or precipitation (e.g., Couasnon et al, 2020;Mazdiyasni and AghaKouchak, 2015;Paprotny et al, 2020;Moftakhari et al, 2019;Wahl et al, 2015) or joint dry hazards such as droughts, heatwaves, and fires (Matthews and Marston, 2019;Raymond et al, 2020b;Sutanto et al, 2020;Zscheischler and Seneviratne, 2017). Recently, some studies assessed the compound occurrence of different types of climate drivers and hazards (Ridder et al, 2020).…”

Alleviating or institutionalizing greenwashing? – The inclusion of nuclear energy into the EU taxonomy from a narrative discourse perspective

“…Another feature already introduced by Hajer [16] includes the actual extraction of a number of different storylines. Those can range from 3 different storylines in the case of the biomass discourse in Europe [19], 5 storylines in the case of the Swedish forest-based bioeconomy [31], to 6 storylines in the case of Germany's forest-based bioeconomy which are further subcategorized [32] or even 7 storylines in the case of regional planning policies in South East Queensland, Australia [33]. Another feature is the allocation of actors to different discourse coalitions which happened in a discourse analysis on circular economies in Norway [34].…”

Importância Do Planejamento Regional Para a Manutenção Dos Usos Múltiplos Da Água Em Bacias Hidrográficas

“…Na Europa, as primeiras políticas voltadas para a temática surgiram na década de 1960, porém alguns países, como a Irlanda, acabaram adotando políticas desse caráter devido à obrigatoriedade de articulação entre planos e programas nos diferentes níveis nos anos 2000 (EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 2001;EGERAAT, 2019). Tratando-se de investigações sobre o planejamento regional, verifica-se que os trabalhos são realizados principalmente nos países desenvolvidos (BRENNER, 1997;BARLES, 2009;MARKUSEN;GADWA, 2010;EGERAAT, 2019;MATTHEWS;MARSTON, 2019). O planejamento regional desempenha um importante papel, visto que possibilita a correção de falhas estruturais, permite otimizar arranjos legislativos, favorece a reestruturação de serviços (por exemplo: saúde, resíduos, abastecimento), contribui para a redução dos impactos ambientais, aumenta a resiliência dos ecossistemas, cria oportunidades para o desenvolvimento e permite verificar o metabolismo das áreas urbanas (BRENNER, 1997;BARLES, 2009;CHAMBERS;ALLEN;CUSHMAN, 2009;MARKUSEN;GADWA, 2010;EGE-RAAT, 2019;MATTHEWS;MARSTON, 2019;RATCLIFFE;MARUCHECK;GILLAND, 2019;SCHINDLER;NGUYEN;BARONGO, 2019).…”
